This hilly walk takes in much of the dramatic Hampshire landscape known to both pioneering ecologist Gilbert White and beloved author Jane Austen. After scaling the Shoulder of Mutton Hill and Noar Hill, we arrive in White's Selborne village for lunch. Refreshed, we'll then brave the famous Zig-Zag path, before passing by Jane Austen's House en-route into Alton. (570m total ascent). Please bring a packed lunch. Pub/café stop at lunchtime (for drinks only), with a tap room at the end.
